rsync bugs

[Nicholas Henke]

I may be nuts, but...

I would appear that rsync is not setting the exit code properly when it fails.
Below are 2 cases where that seems obvious, the line with the '0' after the
output is 'echo $?' from bash -- aka the exit code for the last command.

Let me know if these are bugs, or I need to somehow get around these situations.
